Shiroabhyanga – Traditional Indian Head Massage

Shiro Abhyanga, a term derived from Sanskrit, combines “Shira” (head) and “Abhyanga” (a gentle oil massage with specific movements). It is a traditional Ayurvedic oil massage technique where warm, herb-infused oil is applied to the head and gently massaged into the scalp.

This Indian head massage is known for its deeply relaxing and stress-relieving properties. Shiro Abhyanga is one of the key treatments in Ayurvedic therapy, falling under the category of the four main Murdhni Taila (head oil applications), which also include Shiro Dhara, Shiro Pichu, and Shiro Basti. Depending on individual body constitutions and health conditions, different herbal oils are selected to suit specific needs.

The warm oil used in Shiro Abhyanga penetrates deeply into the scalp, nourishing the hair and skin while infusing the healing properties of the herbs into deeper layers of the body, promoting overall mental clarity and well-being.

Synonyms for Shiro Abhyanga include Shirah Snehana and Murdhni Taila.
